Progress Thread She’s a runner

[KZGUNS]

@a91what I definatly want a well mannered street car. It will occasionally see the track but i don't wanna build around that.

Lets talk about cams... I've left a couple messages for Brian Freezy but haven't heard back yet. Besides a custom grind what are you boosted guys running?

He was away at NMRA race this weekend. Email or phone ? I can reach out to him

I use xe282hr Comp Cam. Low vacuum at idle below 1k. Had to use a vacuum pump for power brake booster. Turbo 331...TW heads. I will be getting in touch with Freezy when its time for the Dart block.

Speaking of camshafts...what the heck is a 1/2, 3/4 or full cam ? Older guys ( over 60 ) keep asking me if I have a 3/4 ( thre qwarta ) cam.

Will that work for you??

 

[KZGUNS]

Brian just called me so I’m gonna send him some info and see what he comes up with.

 

[KZGUNS]

Quick update. Cam should be here in a week or so. Block and crank should be done this week. Started putting the rods/pistons together. Definitely going with a tko 600. Not sure I’ll get all the upgrades but we’ll see, that’ll be the last thing I order. Clutch Ram HD or McLeod twin disc street. Huge price difference between the two...

 

[a91what]

What's the specs on the cam?

 

[Steel1]

I have a Ram HDX clutch behind my 393 , haven't had any issues with it on the street.

 

[KZGUNS]

I will post up the card when the cam arrives.

 

[90sickfox]

Hanlon Motorsports just built my TKO600 and supplied a RAM clutch. Everything was just shy of 4500...thats everything to put it in the car with all hardware...upgrades to TKO...and Stiffler cross member.

Looking at reviews online I wouldn't buy one without the shift mods. Makes it a lot better than right out of the box.

Is Comp Cams including a helper cat with their cam packages, or was it a promo I missed?

 

[General karthief]

Did he get that cam from @Jinx ?

 

[90sickfox]

Mikes new fan system blew it over there...

 

[KZGUNS]

Picked up the block and crank today. Gave the block a good hot soapy water scrubbing and blew it off and oiled it down

 

[TOOLOW91]

I will post up the card when the cam arrives.

Glad it all worked out , I was actually with Brian yesterday at a track rental .

So, why do we not have a 'wheels up' action shot?
